The Data Model

In addition to the Payment Setting and Client Account objects, the Payology Lite Data Model is composed of 4 primary Salesforce Objects as shown below:

Object Name	Description
Check Batch	When using the Payology Check Scanning App, the Batch object is used for the grouping of Check Records, additionally storing the check count, sum amount, and status.
Check	Used with both Payology Check Scanning and Mobile Check Capture App's alike, the Check Record stores check images and corresponding data captured during the check scanning and check capture processes. The Check Record is also used to store the status of a submission to the Check21.com Payment Gateway and the Return status.
Check Allocation	The Check Allocation Record is used to determine how a check will be applied. This record typically acts as a junction object between Payology and Accounts Receivable objects. In the most common of use cases, this record will invoke triggers that pay down invoices, credit accounts, pay premium balances, or generate NPSP opportunity and gift payments.
Check Submission Queue	The Check Submission Queue object is used in the transmission of and receipt of checks and check returns to and from the Check21.com Payment Gateway.
